AS the north bound passenger train
was approaching Darlington, Tues
day, fourteen-year-old negro boy
threw a rock through one of the
windows Of the smoking car, shatter-
ing the window and frightening the
passengers considerably. Several Of
the passengers saw the boy when he
threw the rock but when the train
stopped and search was made for him
he had disappeared in the woods and
could not be found. Had he been
on the spot he would certainly
have been roughly handled.
Chief Biggerstaff says he is making
an honest effort to stop the violation
of the liquor law and we want to
pledge him the hearty cooperation Of
the KENTUcKIAN in the work of en-
forcing not only this law, but all
laws of the city and county. We can
see the effects of the work he
is doing. There ere fewer cases of
seen and since the KEN
TUcKIAN turned the light. on, the vio-
lations of the liquor law are by no
means 80 fragrant. Our position 10
Just this: If the law can't be made
to do good it ought to be repealed,
but first let all hands, policemen,
judges, juries, courts and newspapers
make an honest effort to enforce 1t
aud pull together for law and order.
